Didn’t include Akshaye after ‘Dhurandhar’ success: Border 2 maker
The Indian film industry has been abuzz with the recent release of the highly anticipated movie, ‘Border 2’. The film, which is a sequel to the 1997 blockbuster ‘Border’, has been making headlines for its star-studded cast, including Akshaye Khanna. However, in a recent interview, producer Bhushan Kumar clarified that Akshaye Khanna’s role in ‘Border 2’ was not a result of the frenzy surrounding him after the success of ‘Dhurandhar’.
For those who may not be aware, ‘Dhurandhar’ is another upcoming film that has been generating a lot of buzz, with Akshaye Khanna playing a pivotal role in it. The movie has been creating a lot of hype, and many were speculating that the success of ‘Dhurandhar’ might have led to Akshaye Khanna being added to the cast of ‘Border 2’. However, Bhushan Kumar has put these rumors to rest, stating that Akshaye Khanna’s role in ‘Border 2’ was already scripted and planned from the very beginning.
According to Bhushan Kumar, the hysteria surrounding ‘Dhurandhar’ and Akshaye Khanna’s role in it did not influence the decision to include him in ‘Border 2’. He said, “It was already scripted…The hysteria of the film and Akshaye was already there, but we never thought of [profiting from] it.” This statement clearly indicates that the makers of ‘Border 2’ had always envisioned Akshaye Khanna as a part of the film, and his inclusion was not a last-minute decision.
Director Anurag Singh also chimed in, supporting Bhushan Kumar’s statement. He said, “He was a part of the story from the very beginning.” This further reinforces the fact that Akshaye Khanna’s role in ‘Border 2’ was not a by-product of the success of ‘Dhurandhar’. The makers of the film had a clear vision and plan in place, and Akshaye Khanna was always an integral part of it.
The clarification from Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Singh is significant, as it puts to rest any speculation about the reasons behind Akshaye Khanna’s inclusion in ‘Border 2’. It also highlights the fact that the makers of the film were confident in their vision and did not feel the need to capitalize on the success of another film.
The success of ‘Dhurandhar’ has undoubtedly generated a lot of excitement and interest in Akshaye Khanna’s upcoming projects. However, it is clear that the makers of ‘Border 2’ were not influenced by this factor when it came to casting Akshaye Khanna in their film. Instead, they had a clear and well-thought-out plan in place, which included Akshaye Khanna as a key part of the story.
As the Indian film industry continues to evolve and grow, it is essential to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication that goes into making a film. The clarification from Bhushan Kumar and Anurag Singh is a testament to the fact that the makers of ‘Border 2’ are committed to their vision and are not swayed by external factors.
In conclusion, the inclusion of Akshaye Khanna in ‘Border 2’ was not a result of the success of ‘Dhurandhar’. Instead, it was a deliberate and well-planned decision that was made from the very beginning. The makers of the film had a clear vision and plan in place, and Akshaye Khanna was always an integral part of it.
